Sinigang na Bangus sa Bayabas

Sinigang na Bangus sa Bayabas is a version of sinigang that makes use of ripe guava as the souring agent. Sinigang is a Filipino sour soup dish that commonly uses unripe tamarind or bilimbi to make the sour sour. This singang na bangus sa bayabas is not as sour as the traditional singing dishes, but it has a nice mild flavor that I liked.

I was not able to enjoy this sinigang version as I was growing up. This is one of the reasons why I was skeptical about this dish. However, things changed when I had the courage to try it. I thought that it was not bad, and I even had more until finished the entire bowl.

I think that it takes a little getting used to, or what they call acquired taste in order for most of us to enjoy any sinigang sa bayabas version. I am not a fan of guava, but I like milkfish and fish sauce. The flavor of the milkfish blends well with the guava and the fish sauce making this dish successful. It will be better if you use the ripest guava that you can get for optimum flavor.
